Baseball's bats begin to come alive thanks to different hitting approaches

Two completely different styles of hitting have led the way for the baseball team so far this season.The Tigers (7-12 overall, 1-3 Ivy League) knew there would be a hitting void after the graduation of Matt Evans '99 ? they just weren't sure who exactly would step up to fill that gaping hole or in what manner it would get done.So far this season, two juniors ? Jon Watterson and Max Krance ? have proven to be the most consistent at the plate for the Tigers, with batting averages of .395 and .381, respectively.

Women's lax defeats No. 8 Virginia, No. 17 Cornell

Softball splits against visiting Scarlet Knights

Fresh off of an impressive showing at last weekend's Princeton Invitational, the softball team hoped to translate that momentum into a pair of wins against intrastate rival Rutgers yesterday afternoon at 1895 Field.But Princeton (9-15 overall), would lose a little bit of that steam, settling for a more modest result ? a split with the Scarlet Knights.The Tigers dropped the front end of the doubleheader, 6-3, in extra innings, before coming back to blank Rutgers, 5-0, in six innings before play gave way to darkness."Obviously, we did a nice job coming back in the second game," head coach Cindy Cohen said.
